VIDEO OF THE DAY: Unexpected development rocks Trump’s campaign
The MAGA cult leader's campaign is still reeling from the fallout from the racist shitshow of a rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, specifically the bits where the entire population of Puerto Rico was denigrated and Jews and Black people were targeted by a far-right "roast" comedian. New reports confirm that campaign staffers vetted each rally participant's speech ahead of time, meaning Team Trump saw comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's speech in advance and was clearly fine with it. Which makes sense, since the disgraced ex-president has built his entire career out of denigrating anyone who isn't white. Trump has spent decades targeting Black and Brown folks, so what's the big deal if a comedian shits all over Puerto Rico in a warm-up set to get the MAGA blood flowing, right? Right? Or maybe we should ask the 470,000 Puerto Ricans living in Pennsylvania? [RETWEET THAT!]

Puerto Rico’s Republican Party chairman vows not to vote for Trump without personal apology for racist rally jokes
The fallout from the disgraced ex-president's stupid, unhinged rally at Madison Square Garden continued to reverberate on the campaign trail, with none other than the chairman of the Puerto Rican Republican Party vowing not to support Donald Trump unless the con man does the one thing he is beyond loathe to do: personally apologize. Fun fact: Puerto Ricans living on the island are not able to vote for president and the territory carries no electoral vote, but more than two-thirds of Puerto Ricans live in the US and are able to cast ballots in the states where they reside.

Trump puts all his chips on white voters
Showing Up For Racial Justice: So it's up to us to take them away from him. This election is going to come down to the wire, and we're going to need to attack Trump where he's strongest — white voters. Will you sign up for a phone-banking shift and do your part to win voters away from Trump so we can elect Kamala Harris to the White House?

Israeli strike in northern Gaza kills at least 60, officials say, as Hezbollah announces new leader
An Israeli strike on a five-story building where displaced Palestinians were sheltering in the northern Gaza Strip killed at least 60 people early Tuesday, more than half of them women and children, Gaza’s Health Ministry said. The ministry’s emergency service said at least 12 women and 20 children were among the dead, including babies. The dead included a mother and her five children, some of them adults, and a second mother with her six children, according to an initial casualty list provided by the emergency service. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has been waging the operation in northern Gaza for more than three weeks, targeting what it says are pockets of Hamas militants who have regrouped there.

Trump imagines Marjorie Taylor Greene dying in a fiery car wreck during weird rant about hydrogen-powered cars: "She’s no longer recognizable, we found some of her"
We're one week away from the most consequential election in modern American history, so naturally convicted felon Donald Trump is riffing about imaginary accidents and putting even his staunchest of allies weirdly on the spot. In Atlanta yesterday, the MAGA cult leader riffed on, why not, hydrogen-powered automobiles. "If something goes wrong, and Marjorie Taylor Greene with that beautiful blonde hair is driving down the highway in a hydrogen car, and the problem with the hydrogen car, if something goes wrong, it’s like the atom bomb went off. You're not recognizable. But they say, 'We think we have it under control.' That’s not good enough. They'll say, 'We thought it was Marjorie Taylor Greene riding down the middle of the turnpike, but she’s no longer recognizable. We found some of her.'" So very weird.

Jeff Bezos defends decision to end Washington Post endorsements as hundreds of thousands cancel their subscriptions
Mega-billionaire space cowboy Jeff Bezos, who unfortunately also owns The Washington Post, has penned a flimsy, self-serving column in his own newspaper defending the decision not to endorse a candidate in the US presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, widely and rightly seen by anyone with half a brain as a crucial and existential stress test for American democracy. Bezos has billions of dollars in federal contracts with the United States government, and his most cherished endeavor, the private space exploration company Blue Origin, has been locked in a yearslong battle with fellow oligarch Elon Musk's SpaceX for precious leverage and future funding from NASA. So naturally, Bezos cannot ruffle feathers on either "side" of the political aisle, which means doing what he expressly promised not to do when he purchased the storied newspaper — meddle in it's day-to-day operations. Democracy isn't dying in darkness, folks. It's bleeding out in broad daylight.

DNC office shooting suspect busted with more than 120 guns in his Arizona home
Jeffrey Michael Kelly, the man arrested for shooting up a DNC office in Phoenix, Arizona, was discovered to have over 120 guns and 250,000 (!) rounds of ammo hidden in his home. Police believe that he may have been planning a mass shooting, given that he was hiding a full-on arsenal in his home. We're beyond lucky that he was stopped before he could commit an even more heinous act of violence, but the fact that he was able to assemble a small army's worth of weaponry in the first place is yet another grim reminder our gun laws are in need of SERIOUS reform. Will you make a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety and support their fight to make sure that "never again" becomes a reality?

Obama slams Trump’s "racist, sexist, bigoted" Madison Square Garden rally one week from Election Day
The 44th president went on the offensive against the 45th president in a spirited pitch to make damn sure the 47th president is Kamala Harris and NOT, ya know, the country's worst encore act ever. Nothing that went down during Trump's mind-numbing MAGA rally at Madison Square Garden last weekend was surprising, but it never hurts to have former President Barack Obama hammer home what's truly at stake in an election, specifically this election: "If somebody doesn't respect you, you should not vote for them." It really should be that simple.

Megyn Kelly rips Trump’s "bro-tastic" Madison Square Garden rally: "Do they have no women advising their campaign?"
Ooh, ooh! Us, we'll take this one! Uh, no, they do not.
